AJulitschnek's Blogs

After my Old Blog gets closed because technical issues and the Reopener get closed because of a very tight time limit, preventing me from posting in it . I have to open a new one. Same purpose like before and stated in the old quote below: I will post broken Videos. So Guys keep up with cleaning GBT from broken or crippeled videos and prevent Users stumbling in dead ends when lurking the site.

'I frequently lurking GBT and using it's random/ Being Watched function or mentioned videos, sometimes seeing old stuff again or in hope of finding some, that I don't know already. Watching old videos I come along with some strange issues. There are Videos that are broken, in rare cases they don't play in most cases that appears, there are only few seconds (like 2 or 3) of the video (mayby its the gif that is created as thumbnail and played instead), but in the preview it speaks of a couple of minutes of playtime and you can easy see, that they aren't intended to be shorties.

Easy Explanation for all these cases: The Video that should linked to the GBT-Entry isn't there anymore or the link is simply broken, but I can't figure out a pattern. If they were deleted by purpose it is strange, that the Entrys still there and you can find them in the search and can watch their URL. But it cannot be some sort of expiring, too. Clearly old videos mostly affected by this, especially older then 3 or 4 years and getting a higher chance with increasing age, but also even only 3 years old clips appears in this state. It's kind of strange. I constantly flag them, mostly in hope the file is mayby still there and the link could be simply reestablished; but cleaning is also a good thing leads, so you less likely stumble in dead ends surfing the site. Because I had especially in the last weeks many cases I decided to open a blog dedicated to post broken videos, to keep some sort of a personal record ^^'
